Are Gardens just for Gardeners?
Do you visit art galleries and museums? Do you enjoy theatre and concerts? Hauser and Wirth â art gallery and Oudolf Gardens As a garden writer and garden maker I deeply regret that my audience for both appear to be almost exclusively gardeners. It is as if the works of painters and sculptors were only […]
Should thinkingardens migrate to Substack?
I think it’s possible that such platforms are the future. At least for as long as blogs were, once.
Otherworldly Gardens by Mary Keen

Hadspen aka The Newt in Somerset, by Anne Wareham

What a beautiful post!
Thank you, love. XX
Gorgeous. I love Anemones. The only cut flowers I buy. Wish I aged as gracefully
They are amazing. As for us ageing gracefully – I did think of putting in the sequence backwards. We’ll have to try that and end up babies again…
Love the two close-ups of the centres; the second is particularly bluetiful. You’re giving Charles a run for his money.
Though withholding water in the name of the photographer’s art is another matter đ
(At least I can breathe a sigh of relief – was initially afraid of a post about dying yews.)
Not yet…(the yews..) Fingers crossed. Like bluetiful!
Such vibrant colors set against the white. A real uplifter on a dreary day. I am always reminded when I see these that this was the flower we were give in my A level Botany, practical exam, to identify using the flora. I wonder if anyone uses them these days. Rather lie log tables. Maybe a thing of the past.
I never did botany,but I’d bet you’ll be right.
Colours outstanding but how do we buy some to plant? Tks.
Buy the bulbs – eg http://www.spaldingbulb.co.uk/product/anemone-de-caen-mixed/
Lovely! And such gorgeous colours. I regularly do this with most flowers – especially tulips – but I would go beyond your finished photo. I like flowers with petals on sills….
There’s life in yours yet!
Hi Yewa – we were away on holiday. Bringing nearly decaying flowers home would have been a little too much, I bet even for you! Tulips do die well, I agree…
